Noooooooo! - Spring Break is over!
Hi my friends WELCOME BACK!!
I hope everyone is adjusting to the routine of classes and field placements again after their Spring Break. I am sorry it has been a while since my last blog, since February - WOW. Please understand a lot has been going on. Classes this semester just seem so different from last semester. They seem to demand a little more time and hard work – funny how a masters program works like that - lol. I am also co - leading a group in the evening for students high school students at JSSA every Thursday. The group will last for eight weeks and requires a lot of planning. I know, I know you have heard the apologies and the excuses before, but mine is different. This semester is definitely challenging. I definitely needed Spring Break.
So the week before Spring Break was the week from hell for me. It was MID –Terms week. The only thing I could do to stop my self from going crazy over the various papers I had to write and the numerous exams I had to study for was knowing that Spring Break was just around the corner. Now that I look back on it, things were really crazy before Spring Break. I cannot believe I survived it, but yes I DID survive it!
§ 8 – 10 page Paper due on Wednesday the 12th (okay this day wasn't that bad, but wait look at the rest of the week)
§ Exam on Wednesday the 12th (Human Behavior II)
§ WORK – Thursday the 13th
§ Two Exams on Friday the 14th (Paradigms and Psychopathology) (Who has two exams in one day – Now that is serious)
Now spring break is over (SAD face). I mean when can you get a chance to sleep in until 12:00 (noon). Then wake up to watch some reruns of the Golden Girls, American Idol, the Cosby show, Different World and yes…. Oprah at 4:00 pm. I mean you can even eat cereal for lunch. Man, it was the good life. Nothing beats some rest, relaxation and time with Friends and Family. You do not even have to go anywhere. Nothing beats going to movies with friends, going to dinner and knowing that you don’t have an assignment due the next day. Well all is well. I hope everyone was able to enjoy their Spring Break. Now back to school. Back to studying at the library, back to papers and exams.

I spent some of my Spring Break trying to plan out my entire schedule for my second year. This was serious, you almost have too. You see, some classes are only offered in the spring or in the fall. So to make sure you have all your course requirements you have to plan ahead. With my schedule for next year, I figured I am also going to have to try and take a class this summer. So much to do so little time to do it in. Alright my friends I have to get back to some reading I completely avoid over Spring Break – That was some serious procrastination on my part. Take care and please feel free to send me your comments or questions regarding my blog. Thanks!!
